When Corynn was born, we were given a handpainted stool with her name and birthweight on it. I am telling you, that stool is worth it's weight in gold around here, and has been used by EVERYONE in the house in every ROOM of the house at some time or another. But, it did serve as a problem since poor Andrew doesn't have one-and he needs a boost up more than anyone else these days.
Matt decided to make him one last weekend. He actually had a weekend off (gasp!) and we weren't travelling (double gasp!) so he had a few spare moments. But mainly, because he is a good, sweet, loving Papa.
Here is Andrew, receiving his surprise gift, right after naptime. Papa was pretty excited about it too! Isn't that the case though, don't we all share in the excitement when we work hard to make something for someone??? It really is more fun to give than to receive.
Corynn's stool had a heart cutout that served as a nice handle. Matt made a truck for Andrew.
I have two sweet boys, that's for sure.
That is adorable! Matt could probably sell those if he made more... I especially love the truck cut out!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. I was thinking the same thing... he could easily sell those. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool gift! Matt is so talented when it comes to woodworking. The idea for a truck cut-out to make a handle is brilliant! I bet Andrew thinks he's got the coolest daddy ever.
ReplyDeleteHow kind! And what a lovely gift! I also love to wonderful to watch my husband with his baby -- his expressions are so beautiful and tender.
ReplyDeleteI'm with all of the other ladies... a new item for your Etsy?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet hubby, and Papa!
So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that last shot.
